ONEy MARKET! AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The general appearance of the money market is firmer this m orn i ng , t h ere b e i ng an ac ti ve i nqu i ry for discounts, and the rates charged for even the best bills are 5: and 6 per cent. The supply of "Pita' in the hands of bankers and brokers is smal ler, owing, no doubt, to the heavy revenue PaYraents now in course of collection. Si nce Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to /439,521, and the exports to £213,610. In th e f ore i gn exchanges yesterday afternoon t h ere Was n slight advance on Holland and a do a line on Paris. The share list of the Hydraulic Tube Drawing an d Steel Ordnance Company will be closed on oaturday, the 25th inst., for London ; and Monday, the 27th, for the country. T he prospectus of the Clergy Club and Hotel z aa3 Peey is issued with a p ro p ose d ca pit a l o f ', I NA° in 10,000 shares of £lO each, deposited 1 and £1 further, payable on allotment. The speciality o f t hi s proposed corporat i on is the este buallteent of a club and hotel, with every accom modation for clergymen of the Established Church 4 such of their friends as may be by them in troduced. The directors ground their hopes of auccess upon the manifest want of such an accom modation its central London, evidenced by the many applications which they have received from all Parts of th© country since the project has been announced. The clergy of the Church of England, na ltherin g some 20,000, may be said to be quite nnprovided with any common home, or any central pla ce where they can mee t w ith th e i r c l er i ca l br ethren from all parts of the country. All this , th e proposed und e rt a ki ng w ill reme dy. Th e D irectors offer to confer upon the members many !tiler special advantages which alone are realiseable : 11 some such undertaking as the " Clergy Club," fo r the details of which we refer to the prospectus il hich will be found in another column. The names of the directors are a guarantee for the safe Manegement of the company, and as we under- S tand some important names are about to be added to that list. Doubtless the undertaking will corn. mend itself to those whose comfort and profit it is so . s pecially and wisely designed. Two O'CLOCK. - •• - - Unsatisfactory position of political affairs 04iti nues to exert a very adverse influence upon the S tock Exchanga markets, where it is the all to sorbing topic of conversation. Sales were pressed some extent at the opening, and a general decline in P t ices was the result, but a rally has since been produced by p urc h ases t o c l ose " B e ar" account s by Parties anllloll9 to realise the profit already avail thLe.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Days WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE. - Edward Salter, Nathan Goldsmith, and Henry Morris, three rough-looking men, were charged with the following wanton act of malicious damage and other disgraceful conduct: — Francis Kettering, 240 B, said that at 20 minutes past 12 on the previous right he heard a knocking at a door in Ebury-square, and on going there found Salter at the door of No. 9. As witness was going up to him Salter left the door, and ac he passed the parlour window wilfully broke a pane of glass with his fist. The landlord of the house, who was a perfect stranger to defendants, gave Salter into cus tody, when the latter struggled and resisted violently, when Goldsmith came up and said he should not be taken• Goldsmith then struck him several times in the face and made him bleed very much, and Morris then held the com plainant while he was being illused by the other men. In the course of the attack Salter used the most disgusting and frightful threat of peculiar personal injury to complainant, which he endeavoured to carry into eff.ct. Two other con stables came, but they were violently assaulted by Salter and Goldsmith, and a disturbance was continued for a great while. James Hook, 291, proved the injuries he had received - rom the defendants Salter and Goldsmith. William Brooker, 287 B, alleged a further assault of a savage nature against Salter, James Brock, the reserve man at the station, said that the conduct of the defendants was so violent that no less than six different gentlemen came to the Police Station to request that more constables might be sent to assist those who were being so violently attacked. Morris denied that he had done any thing at all; but the others admitted to some extent that they had been violent, but it was a long, rambling, incoherent story. Mr Selfe said, that if Morris had been charged alone he would have dealt with his case, but he could not now as the whole was too serious, and he must send it to the Sessions for trial, The Land Mortgage Bank of India, Limited. An extraordinary general meeting of the pro prietors was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street---S. Laing, Esq., in the chair. The Secretary read the advertisement convening the meeting, which showed the object of the meeting to be to hear resolution s to be proposed, "in the nature of special resolutions, for the purpose of authorising the company to exercise the powers given by the act to joint stock companies to make and use one or more seals, to be used in such place or places as may be thought desirable in India, and for the purpose of determining the mode and manner in which, and the 1 3 rtics by whom, such power shall be exercised ; and for the purpose of altering the articles of association of the cornpary so far a© may be necessary for the p urposes a f oresa id . " e CI , 1 meeting was of a formal c h aracter. In taking mort gages there was a great difficulty experienced in plat ing in the names of trustees in India, where the succes sions were very rapid, and where possibly if a mort. gage were vested in the names of agents, there might be changes necessary by reason of death or from those parties returning to this country. The diffi culty would be removed by a provision which would enable the company to use a corporate seal in Indi a as well as in England. It was thought by the legis lature that such a power should be given in all companies' general acts, and accordingly an act was passed having that object in view. It would be then lawful to have a corporate seal both in India and in the colonies, and a second meeting would be held in seven clear day s to confirm that resolu tion, which it was important should be passed without delay, because they would then be able to commence business in India. The scale would be placed under the custody of the agents and solicitors, and the same caution would be used as in the case of the one seal. He might state that the last advices from India were very satisfactory. Mr Fitz william had returned from India, and the accounts which he brought were very satisfactory. In a business of this descrip tion great care was necessary to avoid making bad debts. Some delay had arisen from the extraordi nary state of the money market in India. Remit tances in silver, however, had been made, and the whole of the paid-up capital in India was invested partly in mortgages and partly on temporary loans on Government securities, from which they received interest approaching 8 and 9 p er cent. He would which we re f our i n num ber.nw p iu,the the firs e baard of directors were expr ess l y authorised and resolutions, oultvioedns that the c ompany and the , empowered to exercise the powers given them by the act of 1864, subject to resolutions to be passed. The second resolution declared that official seals should be prepared for Bengal, Madras, and Bom bay presidencies, and that the directors should be empowered to see that such s ea l s were prepared accordingly. The third and fourth reso l utions re ferred t o d e t a il s co nn ec t e d with the affixing of the seals, &c. A fifth resolution was that th e art i c l es of agreement, so far as they might be opposed to these resolutions, were repealed, vs ried, an d mo di f i ed. All the res o l u ti o ns w ere carried unanimously ; and the chairman stated that another m eet i ng must be held on Monday week, which would l eave seven clear days' no ti ce as required by the act. The meeting then separated. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—DISGRIOE FUL CONDUCT OF A " GENTLEMAN."—Mr. John Sey more, but whose real name is said to be Henry Bruce Ogilvy, and who gave the address 2 A, Brook-street, St. Georges, and described himself as a " gentleman," was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Mr Maurice Kehullet, wine merchant, of 17, Panton-street. Mr Kehullet said he lodged at No. 17, Panton-street. About half-past one that morning he heard screams in the house, and directly after the prisoner rushed down stairs. He stopped the prisoner, who said it was all right. He told the prisoner that he could not let him go till he saw whether it was all right, when the prisoner gave him three blows on the head with a sack, wounding him and smothering him with blood. The prisoner then broke three large and thick panes of plans with his stick, and on the complainant suc ceeding in getting the street-door open the prisoner rushed out of the house, leaving his hat and stick behind him. He with assistance pursued the prisoner and gave him into custody. Inspector Walker said that some prostitutes resided in the house. Mr Knox asked if there were any other persons present, and the complainant said there was a boy. Wm. White, a boy about fifteen years of age, residing at No. 27, Grafton-place, said he was taken to the house in Panton-strect by a female who invited him to sleep with her. On getting there connection took place between him and the female in the prisoner's presence. He afterwards saw the prisoner struggling with the complainant. Brown, a constable of the C division, said that hearing cries of murder, he went to the house and saw the com plainant bleeding from the head. The complainant said the prisoner had assaulted her, and gave him in charge, He noticed that there had been several panes of glass smashed in the door. The prisoner was sober. Mr Knox asked the boy whether the prisoner touched him at all, and the boy said, " Only once." Mr Kehullet said he stopped the prisoner because he did not know what had occurred. The prisoner said he went to the house with a female, and another female asked him if, he would like to see her have connection with a boy, and he said " Yes." I did so. He might have put his hand on the boy by accident. He was afterwards going downstairs when he was stopped, and then struck the complainant two or three times, because he thought he wanted to extort money from him, and because he refused to let him leave the house. At last on the door being opened he ran out of the house. Mr. Knox (who it should be stated had cautioned the prisoner before he volunteered his statement, that what he said might be used in evidence against him) remanded the prisoner for a week. Subsequently Mr, Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough street, applied that the prisoner might be admitted to bail, but Mr. Knox refused the application till he was made aware whether the complainant was out of danger or not. THAMES. THE COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER AND HIS PRINCIPAL. —Mr William Wilson, proprietor of Colour Works, in Jubilee-street, Mile-end, appeared before Mr Partridge, to answer a charge of assaulting Mr Thomas Mabe. Mr Charles Young, solicitor for the complainant, said bis client had no vindictive feeling against the defendant, but he felt the ignominy of the blow, and was willing to aocept an apology. The defendant declined making any apology, and said he wished for the magistrate's decision. Mr Charles Young said, as no apology was tendered, he must go into the case. The complainant had been com mercial traveller to the defendant, from whom he had re ceived a vile blow. The second blow attempted was parried by the complainant. The complainant said ho had been in the service of the defendant since August last, and bad been travelling through Scotland, the Northern and Midland Counties, and finished his last journey on Friday, the 3d inst. On the following day he saw Mr Wilson, who then gave him notice to terminate the engagement between them. Upon re- ceiving the notice they walked in tho yard of the factory a few yards from the office door. He told the defendant he was quite right to terminate an engagement if he could see no advantage in it, and that it would make no difference to him (the complainant) as tha old house he had left wished him to come back, and that he had seemed to forgot that he had done Perry's business successfully. The defendant said that he had never consented to his doing Perry's busi ness at his cost. He told the defendant he could easily prove that to be untrue, on which the defendant got into a dreadful passion, called him a liar, with a prefix of a sanguinary nature before the word. He told the defendant that if he had sent in his goods equal to samples he would have seen a better result. This exasperated the defendant still more, and he called him a -- vagabond, and said he should give him a-- good thrashing. He told the defendant he must be a thick-headed fool to talk to him in that way. Tile defendant then made a rush at him and struck hihi, a blow on the right eye. He had a parcel of sampl es in his hand, and could not dvoid the blow. He put down 'dm samples and avoided the next blow aimed at him. :liter some words he took his leave. _ ----- The defendant said he received great provocation before he ,truck Mr Mabe, and that the blow was a slight one. Mr Partridge—Both were irritated. The defendant had no right to lay violent hands on the complainant, and should control his temper. I fine the defendant 40s and 2s costs. The money was paid. Horrible Murder of a Female at Norwood, At about eight o'clock on Thursday morning a gardener, at Norwood, while proceeding with his work, was horrified by finding in a field close to the Anerly Station the dead body of a female, re spectably attired. Having obtained assistance the body was removed to the Robi❑ Hood public-house, near the spot, where it was subsequently identified as that of Miss Louisa Dyer, who, with her sister, gained a livelihood by hawking articles about the neighbourhood, both of them being well known in the district. It appears that the deceased was last seen in the company of two men, Laving the appearance of hay makers, on the evening of the 14th inst. The de ceased that evening visited the Robin Hood public house, and was afterwards seen to go in the direction of the field where her body was found. At present the men cannot be identified, and persons living iu the neighbourhood of the field alluded to do not appear to have heard any screams or alarm of any ki❑d. Mr. Inspector Thomson, of the De tective Department, Scotland-yard, assisted by Ser geant Thomas, of the same department, were yester day (Friday) evening engaged in reeking inquiries into the horrible affair, and, near the spot where the body was found, picked up a small iron bar, with which it is supposed the deceased's death-blow was inflicted. From the examination of the body made by Dr. Wood, of Popp Cottage, Norwood, that gentleman is of opinion that death was caused by a severe blow on the head; bat there has been other, and it is feared atrocious violence irflicted on the de ceased's person. It is supposed that the body had lain in the field for about two days, as the decaased had been missing for that time, and vas last seen alive with the two men above re,ferred to. THE LONDON SHAKSPERE MEMORIAL Com. MITTEE, says a contemporary, find that the sum collected amounted to about £l,lOO, and that expended to about £BOO ; so that there remains about £3OO to place in the hands of trustees. The Green Park site for the statue has been given up ; and, when the Thames embankment is completed, the site abutting on the Temple-gardens, as the most appropriate, will probably be decided upon, MARKETS—This Day COVENT GARDEN.

The weekly meeting of tlie board was held yes terday, —M r Thwaites in the chair. The report of the Streets Committee wasbrought up, and stated that, in their opinion, the best course to be pursued for relieving Park-lane would be the opening up of Hamilton-place, and that having re gard to the fact that the improvement exclusively affects property belonging to the Crown, it is one which should be carried out by the Government, and recommending that a communization to that effect he addressed to the First Commissioner of her Majesty's IVorks. Mr. DALTON moved the adoption of the report, after which considerable discu!sion ensued as to whether they had the power to make the Erect without an act of Parliament. Several amendmeLts were propond and nega tived, e nd ultimately the original motion was ut and carried. Mr. BOODLE moved " That the Building Act and General Purposes Committee be instructed to report fortwith on the letter addressed by Mr. Par,. sons, district surveyor of Lambeth, to certain builders and other persons in reference to a state ment made by Mr. Robert Taylor, member of this board, as to the manner in which Mr. Parsons per formed his duties." It was also resolved that the board take into con sideration the desirability of petitioning Parlia ment to grant to this board the horse and carriage duties levied in the metropolis for the purposes of public improvements. A letter received from the Hampstead and Char ing-cross Junction Railway Company was read, agreeing to make a new street from Tottenham court-road, 60 feet wide, and to make a station on the south side of Oxford-street, at the corner of Crown-street. The subject was referred to the Thames Embank. ment Committee, with power to make the um" sary arrangements with the company. Mr. E. T. SMITH'S BENEFIT.—Mr. E. T.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN'S PRINTING PRESS.—Mr. Wyman, of the firm of Cox aad Wyman, has presented to the South Kensiag ton Museum of Patents the printing press at which Benjamin Franklin worked in London as a journeyman printer. DEATH OF MRS. HENLEY.—The family of the Right Hon. J. W. Henley, Md.., has just suffered a great affliction in the death of Mrs. Henley. The deceased laay was the daughter of Mr. John Fane, of Wormsley, Oxford shire, and was married to Mr. Henley in 1817. One of their daughters is the wife of the Venerable Aechdeacon Denison. WATERLOO DAY.•--This being the anniversary day of the battle of Waterloo, after a lapse of 49 years, 137 gallant officers above the rank of Lieutenant survive. The rank of these officers may be summarised as follows :-21 generals, 19 lieutenant-generals, 28 major-generals, 25 colonels, 25 lieutenant colonels, 15 majors, and 4 captains. MADAME DE LAMARTINE —A brief sketch of her has just been published in Paris, which tells the world something of her domestic life. It appears that she copied with her own hand all of M. da Lamartine's works, except "Les Girondins." All of the "copy" supplied to the printer is in her hand; she kept the poet's own manu script as a precious treasure, which she knew posterity would value as highly as she did, He wrote the poem "Jocelyn" in a large album which he used for an account book. The obverse face of the leaves contained the accounts of the la bourers in his vineyards, the reverse was covered with poetry. After the poem was completed, and negotiations with a publisher were carried to a successful issue, Lamar tine, pointing to the album as he mounted his horse to make one of his usual long excursions, asked his wife to send it to the printer. She opened it, and, seeing at first nothing but the accounts of the labourers in the vineyard, thought there must be some mistake. She examined farther, and found the reverse face of every leaf contained " Jocelyn." She laughed, took the album to her secretary, and resolutely set to work to copy the poem. M, de Lawartino thought his work in the publisher's hands, until a week afterwards, when, as they were sitting down to breakfast, she gave him the album and the unblotted manu script of" Jocelyn." The poet was so deeply touched that he took a pen and wrote the three dedicatory strophes to Maria Anna Eliza, which are to be found on the first page of that work. 'Who has not read them? She copied t.. 11 of M. da Lamartine's correspondence. She leaves a great many letters scattered in the hands of friends, which M. Dargaud, it is said, is col:ecting with a view to publication. They are represented as written with great talent. POTATOES.—Thus far this is the hest year for potatoes that has been known in Cornwall for a long time, and it is stated that there has never before been anything like such a large importation to the London and other great markets at so early a period of the season. For the past fortnight the average quantity da ly transmitted from the western part of the country was from 115 to 120 tons. Several thousand baskets have been shipped from the Scilly Islands to Falmouth, and thence forward per rail. The labour in transferring from the narrow gauge of the West Cornwall line to the broad gauge of the Corn wall line at the Truro station, has been very heavy, On Wednesday above 150 tons of potatoes were sent per rail, and on Thursday a train of 25 trucks and two engines con veyed an immense qu ntity to London and elsewhere. Prices are unusually low. The local markets are well sup plied, and potatoes of last year's growth, although in excellent condition, are by no means readily disposed of. This year's crop is turning out remarkably well, and as yet there is all but an entire absence of disease. THE LATE PROFESSOE FERRIER.—On Thursday the grave closed over the most eminent and original metaphysician whom not only Scotland but Great Britain has of late years known, In the early death of Professor Ferrier, Scotland has to mourn a worthy representative of that great line of original thinkers, which, beginning early in the last century, was carried on by David Hume, Adam Smith, Thomas Reid, Dugald Stewart, and Sir William Hamilton. Unlike, even opposed as he was to these in many respects, in this he was one of them, that to the highest and abstrusest problems of philosophy, heights too rare for common men to breathe in—he devoted, with the ardour of an ancient Greek, the best years and ripened strength of his fine and penetrating genius. He has been stricken down in the midst of his powers, when, as seemed to us, but half his work was done, and while his mind was preparing itself for a higher flight, and wider achievements. Enough, however, he has left behind to be an enduring monument of his genius, which England has already re ceivid with ampler acknowledgment than his own country has yet accorded.—Scotsman. " WHAT O LIFE TO You is DEATH TO US !"—lt is said that a species of Toncen lives upon the fruit which produces strychnia, but an equally strange aunouncement has just been made by Dr. Fraser with regard to one of the Lepidoptera. It has been found by this well-known Scotch physician that the larva of a species of moth lives upon the Calabar bean, a drug now much in vogue among ophthal mic surgeons, and whose action on the eye causes rapid diminution in the size of the pupil. THE INEQUALITIES OF THE FRANCHISE.—A correspondent, signing himself " Epsilon," writes to us upon this subject, as follows :—I have submitted the following facts to Mr. Gladstone, and have received an official acknowledgment. I served 7 years' apprenticeship and became a journeyman. I am now in business on my own account, but am not an elector. How is it ? Thus. A year ago I had business premises in the suburbs, and was then an elector of Finsbury. As amatter of policy, however, I took part of extensive premisesin the Strand,and thus have become a lodger. Although Ido not reside at my place of business, I am still a lodger, for it suits my present family circumstances and tastes to prefer a suite of apartments in a large house than to rent a small one. I pay a joint rental of 36s 63 weekly, and also pay income tax. I have writ ten and reported for the press, often delivered public lec tures,written and extempore, on various subjects. I could produce written certificates of character and suitable ability from ministers and masters extending from the ninth year of my age, Nevertheless my country denies me, and tens of thousands as good as I am, the great right of citizenship. Is it generous—is it just to oblige us to stand by, see others vote, and feel that wo are but half E ng li s hmen ? I write this, respected Sir, calling to mind sveral in my private acquaintance among working men who would as conscientiously vote as any men among the upper or middle classes. We hail, then, your recent suffrage speech es the dawn of better times. Depend upon it, sir, that the absence of agitation is no proof of apathy, but of advancing intelligence in the lower classes. Clamour was once the order of the day ; but in proportion as society advances from its boyhood will noise be dietaateful. Never theless, if the Commons wish it, I hope they will have it. - . LEFT ON THE FIELD.—On the person of one of The Yankees killed in the fight at the Yellow Tavern was found a bit of paper twisted in the buttonhole of his jacket. It was a wretched pencil scrawl, evidently written after his fall, and while death was putting film in his eyes. It commenced :—" I, John Wilheimer, 2d New York Cavalry. lam shot and dying. Whoever finds me, send this to Sarah Wilheimar, Brooklyn Post-office, New York. She is my sister, and only relative in the country. Oh, my poor sister I do not break your heart, but I am shot hrough the breast and dying, and they have gone and left me here." . . . What follows in this paragraph is ob literated by blood. The next sentence reads—" Write to Conrad Vitmare of our company--he owes me 60 dollare which he will pay you. Oh, my dear sister, farewell." The paper was taken from the body, and has been forwarded north by flag of truce.—. Richmond Despatch. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This Day, LONDON, June 18.—Wind this day at noon—South.

A call of £4 10s. per share has been made upon the new shares issued to the English and Irish Bank proprietors by the directors of the European Bank, for completing the amalgamation of the two under• takings, and equalising the amount paid on all shares. The call is not required before the 31st of August next, but no transfer of shares will be re gistered until after the call is paid. The fourth ordinary general meeting of the Alliance Bank will be held at the London Tavern on the 22d July next to receive the report of the directors and to declare a dividend. " Several journals," says the France, " have announced that the steam transport Ariege had touched on a bank on the coast of Africa, and was in a dangerous situation. That statement is in. correct. The vessel, when between Auzew and Oran, sprang a leak, but it was soon stopped, and she has since arrived at Toulon in company with the Gomer steam-frigate." A subscription has been opened for the erection of a statue to the painter Greuae at Tournus (Saone et-Loire), his birthplace. This artist, who died in 1805, reckons among his best known works the " Accoreee de Village," the " Jenne Fille pleurant son Oiseau," the " Cruche Cassee," and the "Male diction Paternelle." The whole of these have been frequently reproduced by engraving. floe extensive flour-mills of M. de Chabrillant at St. \Tallier (Drome) were burnt to the ground three nights since. The firemen were only able to save the dwelling-house. The loss, estimated at 180,000 fr., is covered by insurance. The Journal de la Savoie mentions as a proof of the solicitude of the Government for the annexed country, that the Minister of Agriculture and Com merce has granted a credit of 15,000 fr. for the re paration of the roads destroyed by the inundation of the 11th irst. Count Pepod, the Italian Minister at St. Petersburgh, arrived in Paris yesterday and pro ceeded immediately to Fontainebleau. M.

The steam corvette, Talisman, left Toulon the evening before last, having on board M. do Tailenay, French Consul• General Charge d'Affaires at Tangier, who returns to his post. A widow netted Leroy has just died at Marbais, in the province of Namur, at the age of 105. She had never suffered any illness, and retained her faculties to the last. Meyerbeer leaves to each of his daughters an in come of 15,000 thalers (56,0001,) a-year, and one of 25,000 thalers (93,000 f.) to his widow. The marriage of M. Worms, of the Theatre- Francais, with Mdlle. Brernond, of the Vaudeville, took place yesterday at the tnairie of the 2d arrondissement. An Imperial decres in the 11.1nniteur approves of a provisional convention entered into on the I4th inst. between M. Belie, Minister of Public Works, and MM.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.—We are in formed that a requisition is in course of signature, headed by the names of Lord Robert Cecil and Mr Seymour Fitz gerald, requesting Mr Gathorne Hardy to allow himself to be put in nominaticn at the general election for the University of Oxford. A correspondent further informs us that at a meeting yesterday a committee was formed and a secretary appointed. Mr Hardy has not, we believe, received any formal notice of the movement, and the diffi culty in his position no doubt is that he would not like to stand in the way of Sir Stafford Northcote, if Mr. Glad stone should retire, as is now confidently expected.—John Bull, Second Edition. ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FROM A PRISON VAN.— On Thursday night, on the arrival of the prison van at Newgate which conveyed there the prisoners who were committed for trial at Bow-street Police-court, having been charged with post-office robberies, it was found that an at• tempt had been made by the prisoners to make their escape. The sergeant of the van, upon taking the prisoners out of it, saw that Richard Walker had his c - iat unbuttoned, and there was an appearance about the other prisoners--Henry Parker and Henry Robert Rixon, the post-office carrier— which excited his suspicions. After he got the prisoners into the gaol he looked into the van, and found that a panel near where Walker had been sitting had a large hole at the bottom of it. The prisoners were then searched, but nothing was found upon either of them by which the orifice could have been made; and it was suggested that it had been passed through the opening into the street. But upon the prison van reaching the stableyard of the . B divi sion, King-street, 'W estm i n ster, an iron bar was found at the bottom of the van. The supposition then arose that the bar had been placed on the ridge of the vanand bad escaped from that place, and that it had been removed from the cell in which Walker was locked up at Bow•street. Thi s he had concealed under his coat when he entered the van, DESPATCH OF THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC M A ILS —The Royal Ma il Com p an y's steamship Atrato, Capt.

THE CONFEDERATE GOVERNMENT AND THE CHESAPEAKE AFFAIR.--We stated some time past that the Confederate Government had sent a commissioner to Halifax for the purpose of investigating the facts in the case of the seizure of the United States merchant steamer Chesapeake, and we gave at some length the principles of international law upon which the Government was prepared to assume the responsibility of the act and base a claim for the restitution of the vessel. We are now able to add that, upon the report of its commissioner, the Confederate Government, placed in full possession of the facts, has decided that these principles are not applicable to the Chesapeake, and so far from forming the basis of a future demand against the British Government, the act of the captors is distinctly and formally disavowed. The judicial authorities of the colony have, we believe, been unofficially informed of this conclusion. The position assumed by the Confederate Government we understand to be this. While it maintains, and will continue to main tain, the right and the duty of (way citizen of the Con federate States, and every foreigner enlisted la their service, to wage warefare openly or by stratagem upon the vessels of the enemy on their high seas, or not, it will afford no countenance or encouragement, whether armed whether direct or indirect, to any attempts.on the part . ol neutral subjects, or within mutual jurisdictioas. to organise expeditions for the purpose of carrying on hostilities against the United States.—lniez.

The boat, which is a self-righting one, is 32 feet long, and was built in London, under the superinten dence of the institution. The presentation took place on the grounds of the West of England Agricultural Show, and there was present at the time about 20,000 persons. The Mayor of Bristol, who was accompanied by the Earl Forteecue, Captain R. Tryon, R.N., and other gentlemen, having presented the lifeboat to the institution, Mr Lewis, its secretary, accepted, in an appropriate speech, the gift on behalf of the committee of management. He alluded to the indefatigable exertions of Captain Tryon, R.N., in col lecting nearly £6OO to pay the expenses of the lifeboat , &c. , the success of which undertaking was mainly owing to that gentleman's valuable services. The lifeboat is to be sta tioned at Padstow, on the shores of the Bristol Channel, and to replace a smaller boat that was previously there. The Bristol people have named the boat the Albert Edward, in compliment to his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Joseph Hume Burnley, Esq., now S ecretary to her Ma j est y 's Le- be Secretary to her Maje s ty' s Le gation at Copenhagen, to ' Legation et Washington. portion ßoad s o n o f the T hrs d C ay h a i nelfi undere e o t r d 'ivh e rs to o h r e arrived ino 'ThatLthe N ei o th re by the 24th inst,—the day before the armistice ex pires.—Seotsma n, , UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.--The council held especial meeting on Thursday, the 16th, the day ap pointed fo t r h t e hr A eo tk y in ea s r o s n . s fo ti r r g t i h e ti e e l s l c e c h t o i l o a n r , s h b iyp hlsoper founder,annum f The y i I e L aminers, Professors Quain, 4richsen, Wharton Jones, and Hate, reported that Mr Alex.

ARUNDEL S OClETY.—Yesterday the annual gene ral meeting of this society took place at the rooms, Old Bond-street, under the presidency of Lord Etch°. A. report was presented, the adoption of which having been proposed and seconded, a brief discussion ensued, in the course of which it was remarked that the counsel ought to be congratulated upon having secured the services of so able an artist as M. Schultz, who had promised some of the best executed copies of frescoes that the society had received. The report having been adopted, various resolutions were passed, chiefly in reference to points of practical routine, and to the re-election of she council and officers. It was next resolved that all public institutions, whether in Eng land or elsewhere, shall, in the discretion of the council, be admissible as subscribers immediately on paing an entrance donation to the copying fund, without passing through the class of associates. The meeting separated with a vote of thanks to the chairman, who said he was always delighted to attend these annual gather;ngs, and was only sorry tha the unavoidable absence of Mr Layard, Mr Ruskin, and others, load rendered the present prooeed , cgs less amusing than usual. lUST. share , ' L 9.10.4
